Yarra Ranges Special Developmental School

Welcome to Yarra Ranges Special Developmental School, a unique institution located in Mount Evelyn, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, our school is dedicated to providing exceptional education and support for students with diverse needs.

At Yarra Ranges Special Developmental School, we firmly believe that every child deserves equal access to age-appropriate learning experiences across all areas of the Victorian Curriculum. Our experienced and passionate educators plan engaging and personalized learning experiences that align with the curriculum's achievement standards at an appropriate developmental stage.

We understand that independence and autonomy are invaluable qualities for our students with developmental delays. Dr. Anna Bortoli, in her wisdom, stated that it is the greatest gift we can give them. With this in mind, we strive to empower our students to become confident individuals who can navigate the world with self-assurance.

The safety and well-being of our students are of utmost importance to us. We are committed to providing a child-safe environment where everyone feels safe, happy, and respected. This commitment extends to students from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds, as well as students with disabilities.

To ensure the realization of our child-safe school, we have implemented various policies and procedures. These include our Child Safety Responding and Reporting Obligations, which encompass our Mandatory Reporting Policy and Procedures. By adhering to these guidelines, we can swiftly respond to any concerns and maintain a secure and nurturing environment for all.

At Yarra Ranges Special Developmental School, we are dedicated to creating a supportive and inclusive community. Join us in our mission to empower and educate our students, providing them with the tools they need to thrive and succeed.
